The USA was not Founded on Judaism

If this were a Jew, I would say it is understandable that someone thinks that his religion is more important than others. But it is almost certainly a Christian Zionist, as no Jew would make this diagram.

You might say the USA was founded on Christianity, as well as the Roman Empire, Greek philosophy, English Magna Carta and common law, and many other European influences. But not Judaism. The founders paid no attention to Judaism, except to reject it. Even Israel gets its political system from Britain, not Judaism.

Here is Mike Huckabee defending Christian Zionism, and attacking his Tucker Carlson interview. He defines it as following Jesus and also believe the Jews have been brought to their homeland in fulfillment of Scripture. He claims that recent Catholic Popes have been Christian Zionists.

I asked an AI LLM if he is correct:

No, Mike Huckabee's recent claim that several recent Catholic Popes were **Christian Zionists** is not accurate. Christian Zionism is a theological and political viewpoint primarily associated with evangelical Protestantism (especially in the U.S.), which interprets biblical prophecies as requiring support for the modern State of Israel as a fulfillment of God's promises to the Jewish people, often tied to end-times eschatology. It typically affirms that the Jewish people have a divine right to the land, sometimes extending to expansive biblical borders.

The Catholic Church, including under recent Popes like John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis, has explicitly rejected a theological basis for Zionism—that is, the idea that the modern State of Israel fulfills biblical prophecy or that Jews have a divine scriptural right to exclusive sovereignty over the Holy Land. The Church views the ancient covenants with the Jewish people as irrevocable (per Romans 11 and Vatican II's Nostra Aetate), affirms the Jewish people's enduring bond with God, and supports Israel's right to exist securely as a modern state on political and humanitarian grounds (e.g., self-determination, safety from antisemitism). However, this is not rooted in Christian Zionist theology.

Recent Popes have:
- Supported a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine.
- Recognized both Israel (diplomatic relations in 1993 under John Paul II) and Palestine (agreements in 2000 and 2015 under John Paul II and Francis).
- Advocated for justice, peace, and reconciliation for all in the region, including Palestinian Christians.

The heads of churches in the Holy Land (including Catholic leaders) have repeatedly condemned Christian Zionism as a "damaging ideology" that harms Christian unity and the local Christian presence, as in statements from 2006 and January 2026.

Huckabee, as a self-described Christian Zionist and U.S. Ambassador to Israel, made statements in January 2026 defending the term and questioning why any Christian wouldn't be a Zionist, in response to those church leaders' criticisms. He has expressed bewilderment that not all Christians share this view, but this reflects his evangelical perspective, not Catholic teaching.

Your impression that Catholics historically wanted the Holy Land for Christians aligns with pre-20th-century views (e.g., during the Crusades or earlier papal opposition to Zionism, partly due to concerns over holy sites and Christian communities). But modern Catholic policy prioritizes peace, dialogue, protection of holy places for all faiths, and rights for Palestinians (including Christians) alongside Israel's security—without endorsing Christian Zionist theology.

In short, while recent Popes have supported Israel's existence and condemned antisemitism, they are not Christian Zionists in the sense Huckabee uses the term. The claim appears to be an overreach or misunderstanding from a Protestant evangelical viewpoint.

The bizarre thing to me is that Huckabee seems to not even understand why a Christian would not be a Zionist. Here is a hint: Christianity and Judaism are two different religions.

He is the USA ambassador to Israel. Most Americans are pro-Israel, but do not buy into his theology.

An orthodox Jew law professor has posted another rant on how Catholics must not be permitted to say that Jews killed Jesus or to reject Zionism. He says the Catholic faith has been corrupted by the world's oldest hatred. No, this is crazy anti-Christian hatred. Jews like to tell stories about how they are supposedly being persecuted. They are not. Jews are the most privileged people in the world.

I see that Jews have just outbid Netflix to buy Warner Bros. Discovery. This keeps more of the mainstream media under Jewish control. See this video, if you doubt that the buyers are loyal to Israel.
